"The Secret Circle"is arguably one of the most highly anticipated new shows of the 2011-2012 season -- and for good reason.

Based on the book series by "The Vampire Diaries" author and guided by the skilled hand of Kevin Williamson, "The Secret Circle" stars fan favorites like Britt Robertson ("Life Unexpected"), Thomas Dekker ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") and Gale Harold ("Queer as Folk").

Luckily... that anticipation is officially over. "The Secret Circle" premieres on The CW on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 9 p.m., but you can
download it right now for free via iTunes.

We can't wait to hear what you think. Did Harold's creepy opening scene give you goosebumps? Are you rooting for Cassie and Adam or Cassie and Nick? Did newcomer Phoebe Jane Tonkin dazzle you as Faye in her runway walk down the dock?
